Is there a way to tell a Colt CH from a Bushmaster, RRA, etc...?

Nope, I've got about 3 Colt carry handles I took off rifles and they aren't specifically marked. I do believe the RRA handles are marked RRA

My Bushmaster sight matches the finish on the handle closer then my Colt. BM sight = Blackish / Colt sight = Grayish

My Colt 6920 carry handle is a nice black but the rear sight body part is greyish.  
On the handle just ahead of the windage adjuster is a square marking.    
The top of the carry handle has a hole in its center for mounting a Acog or something on I guess.

I  don't see anyother unique markings.   My other carry handle deosn't have that square so maybe thats a Colt marking?

The BAF square forge code is used by different manufacturers in addition to Colt.

is the B/M carry handle sight shorter than a colt, or other???? this might not be right but i think i read as to where the B/M carry handle had an A and B on the left side,,,thus identifying it????? if so,, would this carry handle not work better with the DSA uppers, that folks have been having to install taller front posts??? don't want to hi-jack thread,, just curious, seemed a good place to ask this––thanks

For some odd reason, it'll cost 2-3 times as much as other brands...

The colt knobs are diffrent or at one time they were.
